I think so far only Gateron took the initiative to package them so nice and free the acrylic tray holder.

Akko switch packaging also not bad but Gateron packaging feels more premium.

nice packaging
others just come in a ziplock

been quiet sometime
gonna put this on the TH66 soon ... and will share it here

Wow those are FFFF switches you're lubing?

Here it is .. the journey with new toy hahaha













getting use to the new keyboard ... it is a bit longer and feel a bit diff since have been with my rk61 for almost a year already.
switching from my frankenswitch to the Harimau switch ... seems like the switch is softer then my previous maybe because the previous has a double spring and a longer stem.

Just one rant about the harimau switch ... the quality would be better since the pin is so damn fragile and i did bend a few when trying to replace the or switch
a funny story the no 1 key i cant get the harimau switch to fit but can get others to fit in so in the end i use panda switches on the numeric keys. Heck i swap almost all switches that i have in hand can fit but not the harimau one ????

overall the sound of the keyboard is awesome to my liking out of the box
no other mod yet though ...

will share the noise it makes soon hahaha

hi, can anyone please recommend a simple, minimalist but full size mkb with silent switch? no need backlight, preferably 2.4, 2nd choice bluetooth. nkro is a must. thanks in advanced.

do you need the arrow keys? ... if not try the 61 keys keyboard ... the one that good and cheap will be RK i think ... or can try keychron brand too .. but it all back to your budget actually hahaha

imho after using rk61 for a year i totaly love it up until i change it with the new keebs

yes, in general, if both have similar bottom-out spring weights, linear rated springs are relatively 'softer' than 2-stage springs. you can check out the force curve diagram at sprit designs for that.

still not sure what exactly do you mean by harimau switch not fitting for that 1 key.

a good explanation as always from your side

well the switch cant fit permanently it will come off if u pull a bit on the keycaps but then if i use others switch that i have with me it wont come off easy
i have tried with boba, panda, emerald and even my frankenswitch

(the no 1 key of the numeric keys .. next to the esc key)

another thing about this keebs is most of the keys are south facing except for the numeric is north facing ..not sure why also

Have you tried other Harimau switches on that same spot? Maybe the one you tried, the part that clips into the plate has broken/worn? It could be the plate though, in which case, probably keep using your different switch.


I thought you were joking but no...

not what i was asking but kinda nice. i might change my configuration and get this instead. however, spec sheet doesn't say anything about nkro.

some kb only has this feature in wired mode so i have to make sure.

thanks a lot.

i tried several of the harimau switch on the same spot ... no can use
funny so in the end i use panda on all the numeric buttons

Yup it is like that in this mkb ... north and south ... was surprised too when i was swapping the switches

I have some boards where the esc and 1 is north facing to make space for the usb port.

Here's a long shot for your number 1 harimau problem, try clipping the legs off one harimau to make it a 3pin. I previously had that problem with Nightwalker switches where most wont fit in a mojo. Every other switch i had fit np.

4000 battery should last 3days on 2.4 with 3hrs gaming use per day + another 4hrs just surfing. Nkro, your choice of silent switch. North facing, so non cherry keycaps unless you get ttc frozen which looks like long pole (i havent tested on cherry profile yet).

I have an ik75 which is like a 75 version of that. Can fps game on 2.4 and 8000 battery last last a week b4 the low batt warning comes out. Other than not having via support its been working welll for 2 months or so.

Anyone here uses the g66 pro? Any reviews? Looking for a 60/65 mechanical keyboard with trimode connection and has a knob.

you mean clipping the plastic legs?? and which one should i clipped?

you can try the one i have TH66 hahaha almost same just the gasket concept might be diff a bit

TH66 link

The 2 small plastic legs under the switch. Turn it from a 5pin to a 3pin.
I dunno ah, just a possibility that the 2 holes in the pcb where these 2 legs go into might be too small. I also assume you're using a plate so the 3pin should be ok. Try at your own risk.

I notice that the TH66 is type of hybrid gasket. What does it mean?

according to the website it uses the gasket mount and also the plate screw ... i havent open up the case yet maybe later after a few months i will do some mod inside the casing
as of now the sound it makes just nice for a guy who like loud typing sound hahaha
